Gillespie Quits Zombie Pride & Prejudice

Third director bites the dustLots of films lumber through Development Hell, but Pride And Prejudice And Zombies seems to be suffering more than most on the Production Plains of Dis. The undead literary comedy-horror mash-up has just lost Craig Gillespie, who's the third director to decide he's had enough.Gillespie (Lars And The Real Girl, Fright Night) had inherited the film from Mike White, who'd had to drop out due to a commitment at HBO. White in turn had picked up the project when David O Russell dropped it, favouring a trip to Old St Louis with Vince Vaughn. Other names in the hat previously included Neil Marshall (The Descent,Centurion) and Jeffrey Blitz (Spellbound), but whether this news puts them back in the running (or whether they're still interested) remains to be seen.Deadline cite Gillespie's departure as an amicable one to do with casting issues. This is a polite way of saying that nobody seems to want to be in the film. The lead role of the zombie-smashing Elizabeth Bennet has to date apparently been turned down by Natalie Portman (still a producer, as far as we know), Emma Stone, Mia Wasikowska and, most recently, Blake Lively. Shooting was supposed to get going at the beginning of next year, but with no cast and now, once again, no director, Lionsgate must be thinking about reorganising their diary.

The Pirates! Band of Misfits International Trailer: Hijinks on the High Seas

Aardman Animation can do no wrong, ladies and gentlemen: From Chicken Run to Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit, these folks stick to loopy, yet dry material and make it fun for kids and adults every time. In their new feature The Pirates! Band of Misfits, Aardman takes buccaneering out of Jack Sparrow’s realm and back into the world of kiddy imagination. The new international trailer features all the bug eyes and red beards you can muster, plus the vocal talents of Hugh Grant, Jeremy Piven, and Salma Hayek. Of course, this is the international trailer. America isn’t good enough for narration touting “luxuriant beards!” The movie itself reminds me a bit of the underrated James and the Giant Peach adaptation from ‘96, with its fantastical seafaring and splashy claymation. I assume this movie doesn’t get as dark as that did, but Aardman Animation’s penchant for wryness and wisdom may, in fact, qualify the company to be the heir apparent to Roald Dahl.

AP: NBC Sports Leaving 30 Rock

The Deadline team is covering the News Corp shareholders meeting inside and outside LA’s Fox Studios. Nikki Finke is now writing from staff and news reports. 4TH UPDATE, NOON WRITETHRU: News Corp.’s annual shareholder meeting todayat LA’s Fox Studios turned into a pitched battle of words and accusations and insults.Rupert Murdoch’s critics lined up at two microphones and vented their anger at what they consider to bea corporate culture run amok. At the sametime the Chairman/CEO’s defendersopposed the shareholder calls for better corporate governance and the separation of the chairman/CEO title in order to have a CEO independent of Murdoch.Rupert, for his part, could barely stay polite when he was challenged again and again.”I hate to call you a liar, but I don’t believe you,” he cut off shareholder Stephen Mayne, director of the Australian Shareholders Association who was criticizingNews Corp’scorporate governance.Edward Mason of the Church of England spoke in support of the motion that would oust Murdoch as chairman. But Murdoch interrupted Mason almost immediately, saying “your investments haven’t been that great”. Other shareholders were focused on the UK phone hacking scandal and its origins within the company. UK parliament member Tom Watsoncaught a plane from London to LAjust to confrontMurdoch during today’s shareholders meeting. He asked in a very Britishpolite way whether the chairman and CEO was aware of more allegations, this timeof computer hacking, at News Corp-owned newspaperNews of the World. Murdoch said he wasn’t andresponded, “I have assured that what went wrong a few years ago and the recentrumors by you is being worked out with the police. We will put thisright.”Watson was interrupted byNews Corp board member and Murdoch ally Viet Dihn, who said, “We’re fully cooperating with the police and aren’t permitted to comment onallegations per their instruction. I welcome any information you have for our investigation after the meeting.”But Murdoch told the shareholders:”I promise you absolutely that we will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of this and get it right.” Murdoch also tried to reassure shareholders that News Corp was doing well financially, boasting about”digital treasure droves” from New Media and results showing that cable channels were providing half of the company’s total profit. ‘But that didn’t appear to calm the shareholders at the microphones. Especially with institutional investors like Calipers, the Christian Brothers investment services, and theAustralian Shareholders Associationcalling for an independent CEO. Outside,members of the media and police far outnumbered a small group of protesters numbering about 50 in total who gathered at the main gate of Fox Studios. Occupy Los Angeles, according to information posted on the Occupy Wall Street offshoot’s website, planned to protest “one-sided reporting, job cuts, phone hacking, and bad governance.” Besides a “Fox News Lies” banner, protesters seemed to focus mainly on animal rights and anti-war issues. There was no disruption to the work of studio employees who were allowed to go in without incident. 2ND UPDATE, 9:45 AM: News Corp intentionally drove the shuttle carrying media to the shareholders meeting on the Fox lot through a side gate so the press wouldn’t see the protesters. UPDATE, 9:59 PM: A British Member of Parliament scheduled to join News Corp stockholders inside Fox’s Zanuck Theatre is expected to address protesters in front of the studio on Pico Boulevard before heading into the meeting, one of the organizers told Deadline late Thursday. Labor Party MP Tom Watson, a key figure in the Parliament’s investigation of the phone-hacking scandal, has said he plans to present new allegations of other types of technological surveillance methods News Corp has used in addition to phone hacking by representatives of the now-defunct News of the World. Holders of proxy shares — apart from institutional and other groups who plan to vote against Murdoch-allied board members — are also certain to have harsh questions for company execs. PREVIOUSLY, 7:31 PM: News Corp shareholders arriving for their annual meeting Friday at the Fox lot on Pico Blvd. in West Los Angeles will encounter some uninvited greeters bearing unhappy tidings. Occupy Los Angeles, according to information posted on the Occupy Wall Street offshoot’s website, plans to protest “one-sided reporting, job cuts, phone hacking, and bad governance.” Rupert Murdoch and other company leaders are expected to hear from a major pension fund and other stockholder groups disgruntled by the way members of the Murdoch family and their supporters on the board have handled the phone-hacking scandal in the U.K. and other company activity. Those shareholders may be allowed to lodge their complaints but lack the clout or votes to remove any of the Murdochs or their supporters from the board. At least they’ll get inside the meeting. Occupy L.A. protesters are extremely unlikely to get beyond the front gate or anywhere on the lot, let alone near the studio’s Zanuck Theater where the meeting is being held. Studio security will be tighter than usual, and anyone without authorization won’t get beyond the gate. Efforts to reach protest organizers were unsuccessful.

Years old ho ho. 'Pirates from the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,' the 4th entry within the Disney franchise, manages their email list of home video releases now, offering pure fun and adventure as The Actor-brad Pitt and Penelope Cruz swash buckle their way in all directions. If 'Pirates' provides you with scurvy, almost always there is 'Bad Teacher,' an extremely disappointing comedy starring Cameron Diaz that essentially offers up a lady version of Jack Black from 'School of Rock' (though she's a great deal simpler around the eyes). And, for fans having a sweet tooth for 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,' Warner Home Video has come up with a remarkable 40th anniversary set. Continue reading. 'Pirates from the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' How It Is About: The Actor-brad Pitt returns to his legendary role of Captain Jack Sparrow within this action-packed follow up.

It's Kinda Like: 'Treasure Island' meets 'The Crimson Pirate' What We Should Say: This edition of 'Pirates from the Caribbean' inhales new existence right into a franchise that -- when of 'At World's End' -- had degenerated into slapstick comedy and foolishness. Having a sigh of relief, we are able to securely state that 'On Stranger Tides' has reverted to the original's wit, sass and focus on adventure. Depp is surer than ever before in the role because the amoral sailing (can there be every other kind?), Cruz helps make the perfect female foil for Sparrow, and McShane and Hurry are badly as sailing-bad could be.

Elizabeth Halsey (Diaz) is really a talking and coarse-tongued junior high school teacher who can't wait to marry her meal ticket so she will quit her regular job. When he dumps her, she unwillingly dates back to work on the college, where she shows movies rather than teaching. She soon sets her sights on the handsome substitute teacher (Justin Timberlake) and applies to motion an agenda to earn supplemental income to conserve money for any boob job, constantly rivaling the school's overzealous but many revered teacher (Lucy Punch) and fending off advances in the sarcastic, irreverent gym teacher (Jason Segel It's Kinda Like: 'Bad Santa' meets 'School of Rock' What We Should Say: Take one promising concept (a really bad teacher running amok in senior high school), give a fairly hot actress (Cameron Diaz) within the lead, offer her a men and women foil, then screw it up with dumb situations, gratuitous sexual jokes and innuendo, along with a lame plot twist, and you've got a movie that's never as funny as it ought to be.

James Cameron on The Reason Why You Could See 'Terminator 2' and 'Aliens' Transformed into three dimensional Soon

Even at the time of the items might be considered a backlash against three dimensional -- "may" should you wasted your hard gained cash on an undesirable up-conversion "might notInch if you be James Cameron -- these James Cameron still stands defiant. To become fair, he's the authority to achieve this: 'Avatar' might have created clones of rip-off three dimensional suitors, but that is definitely not Cameron's fault, with no you have asked Cameron's painstaking focus on three dimensional detail. James Cameron was given the most popular Mechanics Breakthrough Leadership Award in NY City on Monday evening, and also the Oscar-winning director spoke to Moviefone one-on-one concerning the three dimensional backlash, his rerelease of 'Titanic' in three dimensional in April of 2012 (more about that here), and why the prosperity of 'Titanic' just can lead to 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' and 'Aliens' obtaining the three dimensional treatment too. It appears as with every blockbuster three dimensional movie, the reviews are that increasing numbers of people are choosing for that 2D version. This happened with 'Pirates 4.' Following the good will of 'Avatar,' how can won by you back a crowd that feels fooled? I do not think this is the situation whatsoever. I do not think the crowd feels fooled, I believe the crowd from time to time feels as though they are not receiving their money's worth once they visit a movie where they are having to pay for any premium ticket cost and it is kind of sloppily transformed into three dimensional and it is not delivering. Which usually is really because the studio imposes three dimensional around the filmmaker and also the filmmaker states, "Look I am making the film, all of you do by using it what you would like.Inch Which can be a bad attitude if you are not shooting for three dimensional, it will not look of the same quality. So I am not in support of conversion. I believe that's potentially a method to do minor harm to industry. So it is possible to backlash? I believe this complete story is trumped up through the media. You realize, they built up, it's this fantastic new factor, and today we are likely to tear it lower. You appear annoyed by this. Are you currently annoyed by this story? No, no. I am not frustrated whatsoever. I believe it is a natural span of the evolution associated with a new factor. However I think people need to comprehend and don't forget: three dimensional revenues for movies have become 40 % annually, annually, for 3 years. And therefore are forecasted to achieve that the coming year. E-commerce isn't disappearing. You are not likely to put that tooth paste in the tube. We have gone in one percent from the market 4 years ago to 21 percent of movie revenues now. So, I believe it's being very broadly recognized on the global basis -- much much more worldwide than locally. So, three dimensional will probably be around forever. Now you ask ,: When will it achieve exactly the same amounts of broadcast? We have got about 110 camera systems at this time which are out all the time -- the trucks are out all the time. We have done 160 sporting occasions also it rises 20 of recent ones every few several weeks. So that's now beginning to blow up. You pointed out that you are not in support of conversion, but they're transforming 'Titanic.' Was that process harder than you would expect? Are you wishing using the results? I was expecting so that it is really challenging top quality results. Which demonstrated to become accurate. Such as the learning from the film and also the three dimensional conversion, we are investing 18 million dollars in a single year -- and it'll barely be completed in time, in Feb -- to get it done up to and including standard comparable to getting shot it in three dimensional. Which, obviously, could have been my first choice. Lacking getting a period machine available, I'm not sure a method to do this. Can we see other films in the James Cameron catalog converted? We're exploring a brand new market for classic library game titles which are much beloved films that might possess a new existence within the theatrical marketplace. We are just going to need to see. I am talking about, perform the amounts support the thought of a 'Terminator 2' or 'Aliens'? I'm not sure, individuals could be awesome movies to transform. But I'm not sure -- we must observe how much we make from 'Titanic.' You are able to contact Mike Ryan on Twitter. Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook RELATED

Phones fuel and frustrate film auds

Mobile phones can both be considered a nuisance along with a useful method of getting more moviegoers into theaters, ticket retailers and participants stated at Variety and Stradella's Film Marketing Summit on Tuesday. For Fandango, ticket sales on mobile products have become from 1% to twentyPercent from the online ticket seller's business in a few years, based on Ted Hong, the business's chief marketing officer. Fandango has become testing bar code scanners that may be scanned in theaters when tix are bought on mobile phones. Two participants are presently testing the service, having a third developing board soon. But as customers depend more about their mobile phones to text and tweet, their elevated usage in theaters is turning off moviegoers to the stage where exhibs have to take them off throughout tests. "When someone's unhappy (concerning the no mobile phone policy), I only say inform your buddies," stated Landmark Theaters Boss Ted Mundorff, adding that "the worst culprits would be the acquisition people at film festivals. It's already against all odds these films get acquired." Panelists also stressed the merits of social networking like a tool to enhance ticket sales, whether sites like Twitter, Facebook or Eventful are used on the mobile device or otherwise. "Letting people participate the procedure takes care of in spades," stated Jordan Glazier, Boss of Eventful. "That is what social networking is perfect for,Inch adding that the online campaign that interacts with potential moviegoers produces "a feeling of affiliation, belonging and kinship" which "means theatergoing." Fandango's Hong agreed, saying, "The energy of on the internet is it's really a dialogue. TV continues to be one of the ways.Inch All agreed the development of internet marketing means galleries have to learn how to consult with audiences in a different way. "You want to safeguard the theatrical window," Hong stated, "but we would like galleries to prevent marketing and begin hooking up with audiences to the stage where it does not seem like marketing." And Landmark's Mundorff asked for that galleries save money to aid a movie after it opens in theaters. "Many of the time they are not supported," he stated. Mundorff is not keen on discounting ticket prices to fill seats. He did not agree to Lionsgate's pair-track of Groupon and Fandango to discount tickets for "The Lincoln subsequently Lawyer" captured. "Once the consumer is purchasing a $6 ticket you're devaluing movies," he stated. However the ploy labored for Fandango and Lionsgate, which stated 89% of those who required benefit of the discount stated "they will not have seen the film been with them not been for Groupon," Hong stated. Mundorff does not anticipate a period when film advertisements no more come in newspapers. "People read reviews and reviews drive our business," Mundorff stated.
